I have heard this before from interracial children, that they identify more with one side or the other...
Then I have a friend who is from both black parents, but she grew up in an all white neighborhood and she identifies more with white people than blacks...
Makes me think... I always mark (other) on paperwork that asks race, and I write HUMAN, but now I wonder if we will ever see ourselves as the human race rather than black/white/hispanic/etc.
See, I always identify as being Jamaican [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img] and many times I am mistaken as hispanic [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img] but that usually only happens in Mexico and Florida [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img]
a person who I consider wise used to say that in my childrens childrens childrens lifetime the majority race will be "brown" as in mixed....but he was a "browning" from uptown Kgn [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]
